This is a book which reminded me very much of the authors previous novel, Never Let Me Go. It also reminded me of 2 films, thematically speaking - Artificial Intelligence (AI - the Steven Spielberg film) and Toy Story. Its an interesting and even re-assuring read, with an element of poignancy and its somewhat thoughtful. However, it is a bit hard to fully get your head around everything depicted. I'm not great at fully understanding the symbolism of certain things but I can't say that I didn't enjoy reading it at all, regardless. There is a nice escapist feel to it. I suppose it isn't the lightest of reads but its not one of the most difficult books to read either. Its relatively short at 307 pages long.

Some aspects of the plot confused me a bit but otherwise I liked the main themes of the book and what it makes you think about, so yes, overall I would recommend it, yes.
